It is commonly known as a wood centipede belonging to the genus Allothereua.
They are fast running little predators and can bite though rarely inclined
to do so. They often can be found under peeling bark or among fallen
branches. I don�t know much about them but can say they often turn up in
pitfall traps in Kings Park and right through the southwest out to the
Goldfields.
